Tain
Tiny Tain took the timber to the terrace
Then tossled the twine she called her
Hair
She shouted so Sal should've gotten
Scared and scurried away from there.
She
Wanted to be alone, away from
Everything and everyone. It helped her
Think
Tain thought a lot. She thought about
her family, he child no one knew
About
Sal, he boyfriend, who thought the
knew everything about her, Boy was he
Stupid
"Turn off the light, turn off the light."
Those were the words flowing out of
Sal's
Mouth as they hid the drugs. They...

New Years
I'm not sure what to say
I'm not sure what to feel
But I always feel so lonely
just like a third wheel
I get the urge to cry
And I feel like I can't breathe
I wish I could start over
Just like New Years Eve
New Years gets to start off fresh
She gets to start off on a clean slate
But me, I can't seem to change
I keep pushing away the plate
The plate of New food
Change
Mixed Vegetables
The plate that's trying to fatten me up
And make every flaw acceptable
I can't seem to get over them
Even though everyone else can
You'd...

I wake up
Only to fall back asleep
I cut
Only to cut too deep
I hurt
Only to hurt too many
I have too little
But always say I have plenty
I don't like to hurt people
And I don't like violence
But instead of trying to stop it
I just sit in cold silence
I have rituals for when animals die
They say tell the truth
And I always lie
I am a disgrace to humanity
And I don't know why
The person I love the most won't leave my side
I have many problems
And they seem to haunt me everyday
But he, the one for me, will never...

She Had It Coming
Giggle Giggle
She loved to tease
Snicker Snicker
She's like a disease
She gets in your head and she won't go away
You can tell her to leave but that will just make her stay
She'll run up on you and fake a kiss
Gosh that girl is such a witch
Flaunting her property around but she won't give it up
She teases you with all she's got
Try and touch her and get a face full of fist
Act like you know her and you'll surely get dissed
But one day she flaunted around the wrong person...
They didn't take no for an answer
She strutted on down the path...

Sick
I'm getting skinnier
I'm losing my appetite
My face looks sickly
I can't fit my jeans
They're way too baggy
And I always feel so empty
My head feels like it's about to explode
And my heart always feels heavy
I'll never forget what happened that night...
What happened in that Chevy
It was very cold
The wind was blowing hard
He said he'd keep me warm
So like the stupid girl I am, I hopped in
Despite of being warned
His reputation is horrible
Whenever he walks by
Everyone will scorn
Oh my, how come I didn't have the power to...
I'm losing my appetite

Love, Magic, and Parties
Some people say that love doesn't exist
Some people say that magic isn't real
But what is the definition of love or magic?
How do they relate?
Love is the closest thing we have to magic
And determines all of our fate
You just have to keep dancing
Because you never know when the music's gonna stop
You never know when the record will scratch
or when the disco ball will drop
Someone once told me:
Sometimes you need change to have a ball
I've been through a lot
But that saying helped me get through it all
You see, it has more...

Mutant Babies Are About To Be Born
Bells Ring
People Sing
Flowers die as she walks down the aisle
People smirk, smile, and wave
While they are silently digging her grave
Her veil flows straight down her back
Covering her face and eyes
No one in the church knows
It's covering all of her lies
In fact, almost no one knows anything about her at all
Except for the fact of knowing she's very beautiful and smart
They know nothing of what she does
The power of her art
They know nothing of her origin
Where she came from
Who she belongs to
Or even why she would come
But...

Blunt
Am I sad?
Nope
Am I pissed
Nope
Do I care?
Not really
How do I feel?
Dizzy
Today's the week you start being blunt
You're no longer nice
You tell me I suck
She is so much better
So you go to her instead
I can't keep you away from her
There's no title over my head
Or power that states
I have control over your actions
So I'll just sit and say nothing
And you can watch my reaction
As I stare at you
Empty
Because you're no longer with me
You're hers now, Buh Bye
Watch me sit and cry
Like a baby in a...

Porcelain Dolls
My face is as pale as ever
It's never been this way
My lips are plump and red
Like flowers on a grave
My cheeks are nice and flushed-
Makeup filling the surface
I'm wearing little old dresses
That would make the modern nervous
My fingernails have been properly painted
Each one the same length
My eyes are a crisp blue
Representing beauty and strength
Curly hair, flowing down my back
Each crinkle exactly alike
I've been dropped four times
Leaving a scarred stripe
I have no shoes
Just pretty pink toenails
Complection of...

Relax
Clench your fist
Curl your toes
Squint your eyes
Crinkle your nose
You feel like you're on fire
Your body begins to burn
Your eyes begin to water
It is now your turn
Step under the water
Feel it trickle down your neck
Relax...
You're okay.
You try to talk yourself out of screaming to the top of your lungs
but you're not convincing enough
The sound escapes your parted lips
Loud enough to knock planes out of the sky
"Quiet! You'll wake your father."
He'll be angry
You know what it's like when he's angry...
Curl your toes
Squint your eyes
Crinkle your nose
You feel like you're on fire
Your body begins to burn
Your eyes begin to water
It is now your turn
Step under the water
Feel it trickle down your neck
Relax...
You're okay.
You try to talk yourself out of screaming to the top of your lungs
but you're not convincing enough
The sound escapes your parted lips
Loud enough to knock planes out of the sky
"Quiet! You'll wake your father."
He'll be angry
You know what it's like when he's angry...
